Babikov informs that Natasha was written in 1921
during VN’s vacations in Berlin, while
away from Cambridge.
The New Yorker edition informs Natahsa was written circa 1924. Which
information is correct? I would be very thankful if anyone could clarify me on
this matter. Babikov also mentioned B.Boyd but his reference could not be
found.Cf.Volume 24 n°1 :Vladimir Nabokov, Annotating vs Interpreting Nabokov|
